gluster volume info gives:

Name: glusterNoriko
Type: Distribute
Status: Started
Number of Bricks: 5
Transport-type: tcp,rdma
Bricks:
Brick1: n01-noriko:/mnt/raid10
Brick2: n02-noriko:/mnt/raid10
Brick3: n03-noriko:/mnt/raid10
Brick4: n04-noriko:/mnt/raid10
Brick5: n05-noriko:/mnt/raid10
Options Reconfigured:
nfs.disable: off

However, when running "gluster volume info"  (or other gluster commands) 
I get stuff like

0-rpc-transport: missing 'option transport-type', defaulting to "socket"
and
geo-replication not installed

Seems to be infiniband related?

Thanks!
